iFixit just posted up a teardown of the new Mid 2011 Mac mini. The teardown basically goes step-by-step in taking apart the machine, while listing parts. iFixit isn't offering a repair manual at this time, but gave the Mac mini an overall score of 8 out of 10 in repairability. They also state that the Mac mini contains no proprietary screws or glued parts within. iFixit goes on to say that you can eaisily upgrade the RAM and hard drive, as well as add a secondary hard drive. You can also get to the power supply, but it takes removing everything. So if you're looking to upgrade or take apart your Mac mini, go and check it out. iFixit has done an excellent job here.

@mdgm OWC has something called the data doubler for the 2009 Mac mini. A product like that might be our only hope. I don't see someone just coming out with the cable. Plus, there might be a special heat sensor involved. This is kind of a downer.

So how does the second hard drive in the Mac mini server connect to the motherboard? Does it just ride up over that first cable and connector to the second connector that is empty? Or is is a double and/or single cable that is split with two ends? Inquiring minds want to know. _________________My Setup
